Re: User account

Hi sandy,

I think you'll find that it will not, despite appearances. If you boot to
safe mode, at least one of the available logons will an administrator
account.

You probably aren't seeing the default administrator account as it is
normally hidden. In Home versions, you can only access it in Safe mode.
In
Pro you'd have to hit ctrl+alt+delete twice at the logon screen and then
manually type it in.

This isn't mean't to be possible! How the hell did he do that! The
only option I can think of is reformatting the PC. Never have I heard
of this happening. Microsoft even states it's not possible.
